Gonzalez’s Shutdown Paralyzes IRS, Hurts Working Families

October 14, 2025

Because of out of touch Democrat Vicente Gonzalez’s shutdown, the IRS halted key taxpayer services. Refunds, audits, and phone lines are stalled — leaving families and small businesses in limbo. Taxpayers pay Washington to work, not to shut down.

“Vicente Gonzalez’s reckless shutdown proves Democrats don’t care about working families footing the bill. They broke the government and expect you to pay for it.” — NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
